Player Picks
Philip Salt ENG | WK
Phil Salt has been one of the reasons why Kolkata Knight Riders have made this far in the IPL. The right-handed batter and wicketkeeper will want to emulate the same for England in the next few months and help his side retain their title.
Babar Azam PAK | BAT
Pakistan skipper is mostly likely to bat at number three for his side and Babar Azam being the talisman for his side will be looked at as the batter to shoulder the run scoring responsibility for his side.
Jos Buttler ENG | WK
England skipper Jos Buttler is coming into the series with a moderately successful IPL 2024 where he scored two centuries. The 34-year-old is a destructive batter in the powerplays and Pakistan team knows if Jos Buttler gets going there is no way to stop him.
Shaheen Afridi PAK | BOWL
The onus of getting wickets with the new ball rests on Shaheen Shah Afridi. His ability to swing the ball at high pace and bowl yorkers make opposition batter wary of Shahen Afridi and his talents with the ball.
Sam Curran ENG | ALL
Young Sam Curran was one of the stars of the 2022 T20 World Cup. The 25-year-old has been in good nick with the bat and also has captaincy experience in the IPL. Sam Curran's big hitting and seam bowling option makes him a huge player to watch out for.
Naseem Shah PAK | BOWL
One of the most feared fast bowlers with the new ball, Naseem Shah mixes pace and aggression and is a very dangerous bowler with the new ball. The conditions in England will be favorable for his kind of bowling.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Jofra Archer
ENG | BOWL
The England pacer is coming back after yet another long injury lay-off. In the few games he has played, Archer has looked dangerous and close to his best playing international cricket is a different kettle of fish and Archer may struggle in the few first few games.
Shadab Khan
PAK | ALL
The last few months have been difficult for Shadab Khan and that has been shown in the way he has performed with the bat and ball. With many other spinning and all-round options available, Shadab Khan knows he is playing for his place in the side.
